Ruminations on the System i Market
Profound Logic Software is finalizing a new enterprise portal product for IBM i and offering a beta program to get feedback on it. The portal, called Atrium, focuses on securely tying multiple applications together into one browser interface.
Atrium lets businesses eliminate green-screen menus that require users to drill down through various levels of options to access particular applications. It offers a tabbed layout that lets users launch multiple applications simultaneously without having to start a new session or back out of applications. Administrators can tailor the layouts for individual users or groups. Atrium provides integration of Profound Logic's modernization suite components (RPGsp Web applications, Genie enhanced screens, and iData database views) into one location with a single sign on. Users also can integrate third-party applications, websites, and data located on the i or other platforms.
"Atrium was based on the business needs and requests of our clients. We worked with several customers, who demonstrated a need to redesign the way their end users navigate between application screens," says David Russo, the Atrium product development team lead for Profound Logic. "It was also important to our clients that they had more control over user access to the individual applications once they were running on the web."
Atrium is scheduled to be released in late September, but Profound Logic is looking for businesses to help beta test the portal. Beta program information is available online. Fill out the beta request form.
